PROVENCE
Dieses Buch entführt den Leser auf eine faszinierende Reise von den antiken Stätten in Orange über die Universitätsstadt Aix-en-Provence und die Metropole Marseille bis hin zu den eindrucksvollen Schluchten der Gorges du Verdon. Zu jedem Kapitel gibt es eine Übersichtskarte mit den wichtigsten Straßenverbindungen, viele großformatige, farbige Abbildungen und Texte, die über Geschichte, Geographie, Kunst, Kultur und Lebensweise kenntnisreich Auskunft geben. So sieht und erfährt der Leser beispielsweise, wie die romanische Kultur in Klöstern und Kirchen bis in unsere Tage fortlebt. Licht und Farben der Flora und Fauna verschmelzen zu einem einzigartigen Panorama, das die Nach-Impressionisten Paul Cézanne und Vincent van Gogh zu besonderen Farbkompositionen inspirierte.
